#1110478 - ITP: augustus -- Re-implementation of Caesar III with changes to gameplay



> There is a nameclash with augustus "gene prediction in eukaryotic

> and the executable according to the Debian Policy 10.1:
> "packages must not install any newly conflicting programs to /usr/games"

This has been discussed with upstream, and they suggest "augustus-game":
https://github.com/bvschaik/julius/issues/739#issuecomment-2496178557
I think that makes sense here, and would avoid any kind of confusion.

Beware that packaging augustus in addition to julius would lead to a
duplication of source code in the Debian archive, something we usually
try to avoid (cf. our recent work together on src:oxygencursors vs.
src:oxygen).

Maybe we should make an exception if we can not find a practical way to
avoid the duplication of julius source code (that augustus uses as a
base), but it would be nice to take some time to explore ideas about how
to avoid that first.
